Jamie Lee Curtis admits Lindsay Lohan was on ‘mom mode’ while on Freakier Friday set: ‘It’s very hard to pull her away’
Jaime Lee Curtis admitted that Lindsay Lohan was in full ‘mom mode’ on the set of Freakier Friday.
The actress, 65 – who was recently spotted filming the highly anticipated sequel – gave an inside scoop People about filming and reuniting with her on-screen daughter on Saturday.
“It was all fun, just on all levels,” she told the outlet of working with the 38-year-old.
This comes a year after Lohan welcomed her first child, son Luai, in July 2023 with husband Bader Shammas.
Curtis said Lohan was “always” in “mom mode,” admitting, “She just loves it.” It’s actually very difficult to get her out of mother mode.’

Although the fiery-haired actress never brought her son to the set during filming, Curtis shared that Shammas would pick her up from work “almost every day.”
‘Bader and Luai came and [would wait] for her in her trailer, and then they all go home together,” she gushed.
At Disney’s D23 fan event to promote the film in August, the couple was asked who they would like to switch bodies with, like in their hit film, and Lohan said: her baby.
“Maybe my baby,” Lohan replied. ‘Just to see – because he’s so pure and so happy, just to see life through his eyes, every day. He’s just a beautiful bundle of joy. I can’t think of anything else.’
And Curtis said she would like to live like WNBA star Caitlin Clark, saying, “I want to play basketball like Caitlin Clark. She’s my lucky number, 22.’
In 2021, Lohan announced on social media that she was engaged to Shammas after three years of dating. Writing on Instagram, she said: “My love. My life. My family. My future.’
The couple tied the knot on April 3, 2022, and jetted off on a lavish honeymoon to Turkey with the financier.
Less than a year later, on March 14, 2023, when she was about five months pregnant, the actress announced she was expecting.
